8 PRE-INSTALLED DISTRIBUTION CABLE CONFIGURATION
ACE-142V cabinets are equipped with pre-installed distribution cables that enter/exit the
cabinet from the bottom. At the entry/exit points, each cable is secured with a clamp. Beyond
the clamp, the outer sheath of each cable is removed and the fibers are broken out into subunits.
Each subunit is fanned out into twelve individual fibers and each fiber is terminated with a
connector. The fiber subunits are routed to the connector panels where each fiber is connected to
a bulkhead adapter.
Each connector panel can accommodate six 12-fiber subunits which equals 72 fiber ports per
panel. Each distribution cable typically has a fiber count that is a multiple of 72 to correspond
with the number of ports provided by each connector panel. Depending on the option ordered,
cabinets may be equipped with up to nine distribution cables. A drawing is provided with each
ACE-142V cabinet that indicates the connector panel and optical port assignments for the fibers
within each distribution cable. Refer to this drawing when splicing to determine the terminating
port for each fiber within each cable. A diagram of a typical distribution cable configuration is
shown in
Figure 33 .
